My Surfing Videos Playlist at YouTube.

Here’s a playlist of 40 pretty random skating (as in sidewalk surfing) videos on YouTube. I never searched systematically. Obviously I find 60s and longboard films the most interesting, you don’t have to turn down the sound as much as with some of the hectic stuff.

Sven Kirsten compiled a magnificent collection of tunes to pull you in.

Sound of Tiki CD Art by Kevin Kidney 2008, originally uploaded by Miehana

The classic prototypical Exotica tune Taboo is taken under musical scrutiny by Randy Wong of Waitiki fame.

Nice vintage dutch footage of Hawai’i with ukulele/vocal/fiddle music. At the end there’s even some surfing, people were having fun and sharing waves.

I will be dj’ing at this event. Looking forward to see you there.

Here’s a shoe for you:

The original skateboard shoe from 1966 – Vans.

Keds would be even more period perfect, as worn by The Challengers:

Are Keds still available? The last time I was in Biarritz I saw them in a shop window.
